Well just got back from a call up in 4x4 country. Call was upstairs hp not working. Got there and it works..... but the fan motor is making a hellacious whirring sound. Cap is good. (albeit a bit rusted....) and the fan motor name plate says .5 amp fla. Equip name plate says .6 fla. And motor is actually pulling .49 amps.
Well told him its working but he needs a new fan motor. Probably the sleeve bearings going bad. DIdnt have a 1/15 hp motor. Think the smallest I could do was a 1/5 trip saver. SO we will order him one. Talked him into a maint agreement. took 1hr 27 min to get there. picked up a conch shell sack on the way.... its heavy... my wife will love it!

oh... and boss cant work today so I guess I wont be working anymore unless some more calls roll in!
